Sep 2, 2025Hirogami is a 3D platformer that unfolds with the elegance of origami, layering its world with creativity, charm, and striking paper-crafted visuals. It may not be the most challenging game out there, but its inventive puzzles, playful mechanics, and imaginative design make for an adventure that feels fresh, memorable, and consistently delightful.

Sep 2, 2025Hirogami is a fantastic little platformer with surprising depth. Its origami world, from every folded tree and piece of wildlife, is a joy to behold, brought further to life with a vibrant soundscape inspired by traditional Japanese instruments. While the combat could perhaps have been a bit more enjoyable, Hirogami’s narrative, layered with subtext about the place of traditional art forms in the modern era and overall fun platforming kept me engaged for its 8-ish hour playtime. If you’re seeking a platforming adventure with a remarkable artistic vision, Hirogami is a great time and an adventure worth unfolding.

Sep 2, 2025Hirogami creatively uses origami folding techniques in its levels and battles, creating a unique platforming experience. Not only do we explore beautifully designed levels full of secrets, but we also have to constantly find new ways to use our powers and transformations.

Sep 2, 2025I'm bummed that Hirogami didn't hit for me like I'd expected it to. There are lots of cool ideas and mechanics here that feel fresh and exciting, and different challenges for each level give you lots to strive for. Unfortunately, the platforming eventually starts to feel frustrating due to bad checkpointing, questionable hitboxes, and ultimate lack of variety. Combat is frequent, repetitive, and ended up feeling like a chore. There's heart and charm here, and I think a sequel could eventually turn this into a viable franchise. As it stands, however, Hirogami isn't a must-play.

Sep 4, 2025This was enjoyable for a time like an origami lesson. But just like the craft this game goes the frustrating ways very quickly and became a shortlived hobby class in the end.

Sep 3, 2025Overall, Hirogami is a visually stunning adventure taking place in a beautifully folded world. There’s a lot to get out of each level with many different challenges to sink your teeth into, but unfortunately, it’s all let down by a lack of polish in gameplay. Platforming feels clunky, and gameplay feels undercooked; it made my time with Hirogami a mixture of being in awe of my surroundings and dismay when I launched myself off the map.

Sep 2, 2025As eye-catching as the adventure may be: Its writing, platforming, exploration and combat aren't compelling enough to carry the Origami hero through the game.
